We have the following risk management guidelines

Photo Policy

Sassafras Ferny Creek Netball Club adheres to the Victorian Netball Association and MDNA rules concerning the taking of photos. If any person wishes to take photos of players on Saturdays, they must first register with the MDNA Office. This still must be done for photos of your own child or relatives. No photos are to be published in any medium without the express permission of the player or adult, the club and MDNA if applicable.
